 Re: Low C vs Low Eb Bass Clarinets

I agree with what everybody suggested above: Get a Low C bass if you are a serious about it. More and more repertoire call for the extended notes. In my 8 years playing bass clarinet, 80% of the repertoire I've come across goes down to at least a Low D or Db. You'll never know when you need them!
This is especially true in newer repertoire(contemporary solo and chamber works). For example, I was part of a 40-piece ad-hoc bass clarinet ensemble which performed at Clarinettist 2018(A homage concert to the late Harry Sparnaay and Guido Six), and all of us had Low C basses which proved to be essential as the piece we were playing frequently called for the extended notes!
And in case you need to sell your Low C bass one day, it shouldn't be a problem doing so as Low C basses, especially quality ones, are very well sought after in the 2nd hand market.
